Pacific Dance

Call to Wallis 🇼🇫

A powerful contemporary dance-theatre work by Justin Haiu, Call to Wallis explores cultural identity, heritage, and the enduring connection to one’s roots through movement, storytelling, and music.

Following a loosely autobiographical journey, the work traces the experiences of a Pacific Island-born individual raised in Aotearoa who feels an undeniable pull toward their ancestral homeland of Wallis Island. Through a series of vivid, heartfelt, and often playful moments, the piece unfolds into a moving return to culture, belonging, and self-discovery.

These are just a few frames from the incredible performance that opened the Pacific Dance Festival and set the stage for an unforgettable season of storytelling through dance. 🔥
